I will have $10 to win on each of those horses - $100
$1 Pick 4's

2-4-9/7/1-3-4-5-6/1-3-4-6-10 - $75

If theres ever a couple of races to go against the favorites I believe its the 8th and 9th races. Both look very vunerable

I can certainly understand that notion. And I agree to a point. I don't like either of those races. I would normally sit those races (8 and 9) out, but this might be the only time I get to wager on the full card.

Guess I am not alone on the 1 at Saratoga. Bet down to 7/2 from 8-1.

If the turf plays like it has been (retribution arrgghh), then Prussian is certianly a play against.

What kills me about Zada Belle is that they normally rip the good horses away from Hardy and give them to the sheik. But since when does a horse that walks over optional 35k claimers deserve to be taken away and thrown into a stake race as the morning line favorite? Especially when she got trounced in her only graded race.

I don't like Zada Belle and am leaning towards Graeme Six & Miss Macy, but wasn't that race over Keeneland's poly?

I love Graeme Six in the race. Handle Miss Macy Sue in her last even though Sue was off a little slow. But I like the stalking position she'll be in racing from the outside.

You talking about Keenlands Poly for the Belle race. It was but she also won over SA poly in an opt. claimer.

I wouldn't be totally surprised to see Any Limit steal it. Hoping Zada Belle keeps her honest up front..

EQUIBASE MISTAKE: Race 2

They list the 3 Casino Kay as 6 dirt races and 2 wins and a third where in fact those were all on the SYNTHETIC at HOL and SA...can we get correct info PLEASE?

also the 7 is listed as 5 dirt races where he only ran 3 dirt races...do they consider the plastic stuff dirt? They also list all weather so why list them as dirt? :evil:

Before i bet on retribution yesterday, Ateam commented that the turf had been playing against speed. After watching that loss (still hurts) i went back and looked at the charts and found he might have a point.

Either way, I have no strong feelings.

In routes, speed has been getting killed for the most part. Might be a coincidence, but something I noticed.

[hockey2315]

Isn't speed inherently up against it in turf routes anyway?
